Hello From Budapest
Budapest is a fabulous city. We are running ourselves ragged, and loving it.
Decided on the Budapest Card (about $50 per person). It has paid for itself in museum entry fees alone, not to mention all the public transportation.
We were able to actually light Susie’s candle in St. Stephen’s. I got a great picture. We had to settle for lighting it outside the door of St. Matthias.
If we were here a month instead of a week, we would only begin to scratch the surface.
I can’t believe this is already our last night. We leave tomorrow night on the sleeper to Beograd.
We hit the bonanza in festivals. Night before last was the big June 21st festival on the chain bridge. Last night was Budapest’s first international food festival.
I took video on my camera, but I don’t know how to put it on YouTube. I’ll have to wait until I get home to my tech savvy friends.
I also can’t get the photo program on this computer to switch from Hungarian to English, so I can’t even upload a picture.
Of course, I’ve take almost 200 so far, so how could I just choose one.
So glad you are having a good time!
Enjoy every minute.
Colour me green with envy! I loved Budapest too. St. Stephen’s basilica was gorgeous, especially the way the light streams in.
